Is there a real phone projector app?

There is no real phone projector app that can turn your smartphone into a true projector because projecting images requires hardware components like a light source, lens, and screen. However, some apps can help simulate projection-like effects or assist in making your phone compatible with an external projector.

Why Phones Can’t Project on Their Own:

Smartphones do not have the necessary hardware (such as a light source and lens) to project images directly onto a wall or surface. While apps can assist in enhancing or mirroring the content on your phone, they cannot physically project the image like a traditional projector.

Alternatives: Apps to Use in Conjunction with a Projector

If you're looking for ways to make your phone work with an external projector, you can use apps to help mirror your screen or display media. Here are some apps that assist with projecting content from your phone when connected to a real projector:
